Passenger Trains > FL Auto-Train switching in SanfordDate: 09/13/21 13:13 FL Auto-Train switching in Sanford Author: Lackawanna484 Danny Harmon / Distant Signal has an interesting video on the U tube. This one is a detailed study of A-T switching on arrival at Sanford.
How the spotting of the car carriers is organized. The car wash routine. Cut off points. There's a lot going on in a short period of time.

Auto-Train is a freight train not a "passenger train." You cannot ride Auto-Train unless you are transporting a car, motorcycle, etc. Posted from Android Date: 09/15/21 04:44 Re: FL Auto-Train switching in Sanford Author: ctillnc It's a question of semantics. Merriam-Webster defines "passenger train" as "a train that people use for traveling". Collins says "a train that carries passengers". On the other hand, Macmillian defines it as "a train that carries only passengers". I think most people would say the AT is a passenger train even if sale of tickets for it has unusual conditions.
